Keep this one quiet, but there's a significant retirement party Friday afternoon at Family Dollar
Imagine this: As the Bluffton sesquicentennial launches, one Main Street retirement signals the end of that family's 125-year involvement on Main Street. Okay, in this case it's Cherry Street, but who's looking.
Is it three or four generations? We'll report back to you soon.
We aren't naming any names, but an open house from 1 to 4 p.m., Friday, June 24, at Family Dollar will reveal all you need to know.
By the way, this is a surprise, so, tell your friends, but don't tell a guy by the name of Scott Edwards. He's the end of this 125-year family line in Bluffton business endeavors.
One-hundred and twenty-five years. That comes to over 45,625 days (we didn't consider leap years), as this "old" Bluffton family handled business transactions, dealt with customers and helped promote Bluffton. They did in selling furniture, funerals, home furnishings and even pulled your teeth. There's more to add to the list, but our memory doesn't go back 125 years.
Thanks, Scott, Roger, Dorothy, Bill, Noah, and we'll toss in Evan and Francis and a long line of Edwards and Basingers who helped make Main Street Bluffton what it is today!
